Hiya, Dorktor!

Have you got any more software placed into the public domain by lying again?  ;)

 *> On this OMG! thread the following replies were  presented and I'd love to
 *> reply with an expression of my thoughts on it all.

Oh.  It should be a short post then.  As long as you can keep redundancy out of 
it.  ;)

 *> As a democrat who believes in the power, morality and justness of a true
 *> democracy

Hmm... True democracies are rare.  Everyone would have to vote on every single 
item of government.  We'd be voting on so many items that we wouldn't get any 
work done.  Not that you'd know about work.  ;)

 *> (i.e. -> the will of the majority of the people)

Uh... The democratic method is a good way of finding the will of the majority of 
the people, sure.  But it doesn't have to be a "true democracy".

 *> It's very clear to me that here in the USA on the federal level - we no
 *> longer live in a  democracy.  

No.  You live in a republic.  

 *> We have a president who was appointed to  office by an elite power base of
 *> political controllers.

Oh?  I gather that you haven't read those reports by the media who did their own 
recount and found that he won fair and square.  Cry a river, Charles.  ;)

 *>   In most cases, the will of the  majority of the people no longer applies
 *> to  the desires of the this political power base collective in our federal
 *> government.  

Frankly, the "desires" of "the  majority of the people" can be scary.  For 
example, I'm betting that the majority of the people object to obese druggie 
welfare leeches and would like to see the end of them.  ;)

 *> What we have now in the USA is more of a  federal republic - than any thing
 *> else.

Ah... Perhaps you remembered your High School Civics class after all.  ;)

 *>   The  state of a true democracy for the USA seems to have slowly and
 *> progressively vanished on a federal level from around 1950 until now.

Well... It's vanished.  Because it never existed in the first place.  ;)

 *>   I know a lot of people who simply do not like any of it, in the way it's
 *> all going.

All those people are entitled to whine and moan about it if they wish.  They 
could even try voting.  ;)

 *>   So, get ready for it folks.

It?  Why would I want to get ready for "it"?  ;)

 *> I expect we are going to see a long and red hot summer, in more ways than
 *> I'd care to offer in this reply!

Well, sure.  You bozo's are going to have to deal with a summer without power 
because you thought you could outvote the market. ;)

And you didn't want to build more powerplants. ;)

And conserving energy is the answer.  ;)

Go hug a tree, Tom.  ;)

 *> It's all rather pitiful too when you consider that  if you are in the
 *> majority with your desires and it is the will of the majority of the people
 *> that make up the place where you live the  government of the country you
 *> live in will not grant you your desires.

Thank goodness laws protect the minorities then.  With assholes like YOU in 
charge, Tom, we'd have killing fields here that would make Cambodia look like a 
summer camp.  ;P

 *> I'm rather glad that I live in a very special county here in the state of
 *> California where true democracy

Nonsense.  ;)  The People's Soviet Republic of Kalifornia?  ;)

 *> still exist and is still honored by our state and county governments.

Baloney.  You have a representative democracy, Dorktor.  ;)

 *> << Legality does not define morality. >>

 *> Yes, that is a true fact or sure!

Uh huh... Morality defines Legality.  Why don't you crack open a dictionary and 
check for yourself.  ;)

 *> >I have the audacity to think that many people do act in what they think to
 *> be
 *> >the best interest of their nation in the service of government.  Chaney

 *> << So he prefers power to money, big deal. >>

 *> It certainly is a 'BIG DEAL' for sure!!!

Duh.  Why do you think Clinton lined his pockets with proceeds from operating the

Looks like you have a bad case of sour grapes, Charles.  ;)

Think about this statement, Tom.  You've certainly never demonstrated this.  ;)

Heh.  You've never been close to justice.  ;)

 *> I've never  cared for virtue either.  

No Shit.  ;)

 *> But, I do believe in extremism in defense of liberty.

Does this extremism entail depriving others of their rights?  Bet it does. 

 *> That's why I moved to Mendocino county in California.  

"Mental Midgets Migrate to Mendocino" .. Story at 10!

 *> Seem I'm one of those unique conservative extremist.

Wouldn't that be Eunuch Constipated Excrement?  ;)

 *> Cheers, Tom

And to YOU, Dortor.  Don't forget your meds!
